Surprise Resolution?

 Are you prepared for a surprise resolution on 14 May at the  Model United Nations Assembly in Muswellbrook? I am considering introducing a new resolution to supplement those you already have been given. Obviously, some significant recent events are dominating world news and creating high level political debate, so who knows what may happen next week? My advice to all participants is to watch/listen to/ read some current world news and you will be adequately prepared. Do you know which nation is represented by this flag? ( Hint : Currently in the news big time!)
Please do not hestitate to contact me if you have any questions at all regarding the MUNA resolutions. Secretary-General
